Published by nika on Tuesday, May 30, 2006 at 12:24 PM.
First I want to thank everyone who submitted their delicious and delightful pictures to this edition of DMBLGT. We had 41 submissions! I am so glad to have emails from each of you. It was great to meet so many nice people.
I would also like to thank, profusely, our three judges for this month’s contest. They are:
Brenda at The Culinary Fool
Bea at La Tartine Gourmande
and Kathya at .let me think I left a spot on your lovely sun.
You all did a beautiful job, thanks so much!
Judging Metrics:
Each judge (4 total) rated each pic on a scale of 1-99 with three categories. 33 for Eatability, 33 for Originality, and 33 for Aesthetics. I am going to present the top three overall winners and then the top three in each category. I will also provide a few comments as provided by the judges in the overall category and in the other categories where not repetitive. I will note the averaged score for each winning entry.
Overall winners (top three):
Food Beam (87.75 out of 99) (GRAND WINNER)
![DMBLGIT #5 entry (1) - Charlotte aux framboises et au fromage blanc [Fromage blanc and raspberry Charlotte] (NOT MINE)](http://static.flickr.com/47/137465905_0079a5d03d.jpg)
Charlotte aux framboises et au fromage blanc [Fromage blanc and raspberry Charlotte]
Savoiardi + a raspberry/fromage blanc (thick creamy yogurt) mousse
- Love the pinks: "Alice in Wonderland Award"
- Great idea. Original and very good looking
- Very pretty and appealing.
---
Oishii Ringo (86 out of 99)
Rum-Orange Broiled Shrimp with Asparagus Couscous
- This is very nice and would have scored even higher if the focus was a little more precise
- Nice looking dish but wished the picture had had more light
- Lovely dish.
---
Lucullian Delights (74 out of 99)
Favabeans with sundried tomatoes, white wine and thyme
- I love all the green and wanted to rate this higher. However, my eye was drawn to the out of focus background instead of to the in focus bean. I had to force myself to look at the bean. I think a slightly different crop (through the bean in the bowl, maybe) would help this
- Great eye-catching colour,
- Would have preferred a photo of the finished dish!!
------------------
Eatability (top three):
Mekuno Cooking (31.25 out of 33)
Eccles cakes, a spicy raisin-filled puff pastry
- Just give me a cup of tea and I'll be ready!
- Lovely looking food
- Simply love everything about this!

Oishii Ringo (30.5 out of 33)
Rum-Orange Broiled Shrimp with Asparagus Couscous

Ripe London (30 out of 33)
Tart au Citron
- I would have liked to score this higher but the photo is too dark
- Nice looking pie but too dark
- Photo a bit too dark, wasn’t crazy about the raspberries on top.. but lovely otherwise!
------------------
Originality (top three):
Food Beam (30.25 out of 33)
Charlotte aux framboises et au fromage blanc [Fromage blanc and raspberry Charlotte]
Savoiardi + a raspberry/fromage blanc (thick creamy yogurt) mousse

Cookbook 411 (29.50 out of 33)
Portobella Mushrooms
- Beautiful focus and detail! Love the feathery affect.
- Great idea and composition. Lovely details and focus
- Sounds interesting, would have loved to have seen the finished dish.
------------------
Aesthetics (top three):
Chez Pim (30.25 out of 33)
Noodle with crab meat and green garlic
- Looks comforting and I like how the chopsticks help frame the noodles
- Great composition of food. Nicely styled and very nice looking
- Love the use of fresh, local, seasonal ingredients. For me, the black background takes away from an otherwise lovely photograph.
